Final Fantasy XIII Release Date Video {March 9th, 2010}

This is worthy of posting in LS news, greatly looking forward to FFXIII....just have to get a 360 again either before launch or the day of!

Doth my eyes deceive me, but in that exclusive, new clip shown in the video of the open fields and riding on a Chocobo remind you of FFXI and possible MMO elements. Or are SE just going with larger environments to explore instead of cramped corridors and pathways as before. It looks rather cool to me...
